Detergent dispenser

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may

in fact cause build up on the interior of your

appliance and even pollute the environment.

Open up the detergent dispenser and pour in the detergent and fabric softener, as follows.

compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)

It is recommended that you place liquid detergent directly into the compartment using the appropriate dosing cup.

compartment 3: Additives (softener, etc.) When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid exceeding the "max" level indicated.

The softener is added automatically into the machine during the last wash. At the end of the wash programme, some water will be left in compartment

3.This is used for the inlet of denser fabric softeners into the machine, i.e. to dilute the more concentrated softeners. Should more than a normal amount of water remain in compartment 3, this means the emptying device is blocked. For cleaning instructions, see page 10.

compartment 4: Bleach

Do not use hand wash detergent because it may form too much foam.

Bleach cycle

Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics and for wool.

When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the "max" level indicated on compartment 4 ..

To run the bleach cycle alone, pour the bleach into

compartment 4 and set the Rinse programme (for

cotton fabrics) or delicate Rinse (for synthetic fabrics).

Preparing your laundry

•Divide your laundry according to:

-the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.

•Do not exceed the weight limits stated below, which refer to the weight when dry:

Sturdy fabrics: max 5 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kg

1pillow case 150-200 g

1tablecloth 400-500 g

1bathrobe 900-1,200 g

1towel 150-250 g

Special items

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme 11 which excludes the spin cycle automatically.

Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are padded with goose or duck down, they can be machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and load a maximum of 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse cycle once or twice and using the delicate spin cycle. Trainers: remove any mud. They can be washed together with jeans and other tough garments, but not with whites.

Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent, taking care not to exceed a load of 1 kg.
